Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3317979, member: 1899"] As far as the Gold Coast Titans, for the NRL it would be a great result if they got a new face in the Top 8 just from a marketing stand-point. It's more potential stars for the game to promote and a Queensland club which the competition desperately needs for the finals. Just listen to the media coverage surrounding the AFL and how salty they are about the lack of WA teams, Gold Coast making it would solve that problem. The ball is in their court really, but if they fail to make the finals it just confirms that they're a very inexperienced team that still needs time to develop. If you look at the stars in that team, it's largely made up of players like David Fifita, Tino Fa'asuamaleaui, Moeaki Fotuaika and AJ Brimson who are all Under 23. Some of their performances seem very symptomatic of a team of their youth with some amazing attack but also some really lax defence and errors. They're a team of the future and when players like Toby Sexton, Jayden Campbell, Lofi Khan-Periera etc. come of age they're really help that core out. I think players like Jamal Fogarty, Brian Kelly, Corey Thompson etc. are helping the team out but if the Gold Coast are going to be successful it's going to come through a strong system that helps shapes better footballers. So essentially it would be great for the competition if the Titans made it and it's something the Titans ought to achieve this Sunday. However I also think it would be a false dawn for them and I think they need to continue grinding away. Next year has to be the year they go 12-12 or better and really put their production line in place. They won't go anywhere if they're relying on players like Esan Marsters, Aaron Booth etc. to help them out. [/QUOTE]
